Asp.net RDLC How to Print a report - same format for multiple records at once

Question

See more:

I have a table named PayslipData. I have created a report which Prints Payslip for employee for a particular month. The report is working fine for single employee. BUT now I want to print payslips for ALL employees at a single click of a button. That means the RDLC format which I have prepared should print all these payslips
in succession and show all these payslips one below each other in the reportviewer so that I can use Print Button at the top panel to print all these at one go. I am stuck here for many days. Please help.

My code goes like this

C#

ReportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear()
          Dim reportDSHeader As New ReportDataSource("DataSet1", ds.Tables(0))
          Dim reportpath As String = "Reports\PayslipPrint.rdlc"            ReportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportPath = reportpath
          ReportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(reportDSHeader)
          ReportViewer1.LocalReport.Refresh()

I am geting the entire dataset properly, but while showing the report, it shows only single record.

Hello vbguy,

What I usually do is just wrap the whole content of the report body(including labels and everything) inside a List[^] element, and then assign the datasource to that list. This will iterate over all the elements of your datasource and you should have your report displaying multiple payslips if your datasource contains more than 1.

Hello andrusha007

Thanks a lot for your kind help.

I tried it and it is repeating that Payslip format for all the records. Only the hitch now is it is showing Data for Only one record at ALL places. I might have goofed up somewhere or I think do I need to add Group By to that list?

Will try to figure out the problem today. If you know where I might be going wrong, then please let me know.

Anyways my hearttfelt thanks for your help.

I am doing the same thing in my project, only thing you need to do is put everything in a list and one group should be created on employee in on list.

That works for me.

Hope this helps.
